... about an old friend of mine who's son was killed. I was playing the radio and a song came on that always makes me think of this boy. No boy should die and no boy should be killed simply because he is different. I remember talking to this boy on the phone... asking to talk to his dad... I didn't really know him except for what his dad told me about him. Even if I had known him IRL, there was nothing I could have done (or anyone really) to save him. Bad shit happens. I know his dad wishes he could have made him act less gay. I am sure that he wonders every day what he could have done different. The thing is... this kid was who he was and in a better world that would have been OK. We don't live in that world. We live in a world where kids are killed because they are different.
